Both their purge of Ta(na)bata from their studios and their purge of Belgian players from mobile games seem fishy. The first one because there's absolutely no information about the reasons behind it, the second one because it openly shows Squeenix's predatory nature.

No idea about Tanabata. As for Belgian laws, they allow mobile games if they remove access to all paid content or if they assert themselves as gambling games with all that is asked (gambling license, warnings at the opening of games, and total display of all gacha results rates)

These things happened before they barred the Western release of Omega Labyrinth Z. Go even further people, I smell some smoke.

I replaced her with Raging Golden Eagle's Twitter since he mostly keeps me updated on vidya and anime more often. Mombot shitposts too much in between and she doesn't get on top of news as she use to along with being an attention whore that took part in a dox gone wrong.

I guess their is more drama about comics now. The team that made Rags are now sperging out over comicsgate since they got called out for talking to and supporting renfamous after she doxed people who donated to some D&C thing. The team behind Rags also spergs out over comicsgate being filled with dirty pirates. The surprising part is that one of the people who is sperging about comicsgate supported gamergate

<It manages to capture the sordid abandon of a drunken night, but also the frightening reality of blackouts and of dangerous behavior.

<The game also features a sad character who is ruined by drink, and helpless in the face of its temptations. I haven’t finished his story yet, but he’s a convincing recreation of addiction.

>Red Dead Redemption 2 players have been sending abuse to a real person called Colm O'Driscoll

>Richard Lewis managed to get a comment from Ryan Wyatt (head of Youtube Gaming) on Shirrako's ban - "Sometimes we make mistakes… …The reviewer will be educated on this outcome and on how to avoid repeating this mistake."

Yeah the creator went on huge fits when the first issue of Rags came out. People like him need to realize that pirates don't deny you of money. Often, if your product is good, people will still buy it if they like it when they get a taste of it. Especially with comics. It's easy to just buy a book for it's cover when it comes to comics. So pirating it online means you can preview it for all it's worth before deciding. Just because you make a product doesn't mean you're obligated to anyone's money. Especially doesn't mean you should bitch and moan just because your comic isn't immediately being bought.

But besides that, the real important bits of drama are the blatant outright propaganda pieces from Marvel. Even in it's cartoons. Then of course the lawsuit against Waid.

She supposed fed Ian a fake dox which ended up being used by sceptics to swat the wrong guy and got his dog killed from what I've heard. I stopped caring for mombot because she has been silent on the Sony censor and most things.

>>15707487

I don't own an account, but I do go there for news or updates and they tend to have links to articles.

>here are media reports of small groups of men caught smuggling stolen horse meat — accompanied by gory pictures of dismembered horses.

>The meat from a full-grown horse could fetch roughly $1,400 at market, based on the equivalent prices of Venezuelan beef, making it a lucrative venture in a country where a worker’s monthly minimum wage is under $10 at the widely-used black market rate.

Something something mombot passed someones info to banana nazi Ian who then gave it to a doxxer who released it, which turned out the info was bad. Or something like that I think, I didn't pay attention.

>"I stopped caring for mombot because she has been silent on the Sony censor and most things."

>cutting ties to someone for not talking about something

>not even actually saying anything that you disagree with

>just the fact that they are not talking about it

I mean, the obsession with mombot has always been pretty fucking retarded with people acting like she is some sort of authority, but this shit is even dumber than that. Mombot very clearly disagrees with the stance and is very clearly staying silent out of respect. And here people have been acting for the last dozen threads as if staying silent were an act of treason.

It's not an organization that can be infiltrated. It's just an idea. Just like this here. We aren't a group in of itself. We're both just people who want our products to not be shit. And the only real shitflinging is from actual people working in the industry siding with Mark Waid. But they're all the people comicsgate doesn't want to support either.

>“Substantial bribes were paid to VBS’ directors and “other related parties in order to buy their silence and to look the other way while the looting was going on,” the report added.

>Large deposits from dozens of municipalities, as “investments” with VBS, were the result of a concerted and deliberate campaign undertaken by VBS execs and involved, in many instances, the payment of bribes to various public officials who were “in a position to influence the making of such deposits.”

>“The captors and their associates went on a massive spending spree at the expense of VBS’ depositors,” the report said.

>“It is corrupt and rotten to the core. Indeed, there is hardly a person in its employ in any position of authority who is not, in some way or the other, complicit” in the “widescale looting and pillaging of the monies placed on deposit at VBS.”

Also it really doesn't require a lot of intelligence, just a shitload of planning in advance. If they did it on the fly then yes, they were smart, but I find it highly doubtful. It's literally just taking money and refusing to give it back.

Some pozzed freak invited these drag queens to my country, to perform first ever Drag Queen show in the capital. And then one of my news broadcast has the audacity to invite these "Madame Heinzi and Admira Thunderpussy", and then show it on live television with this fucking interview.

Our /co/ is pretty shit though. Yanni lets cuckchan threads stay there but bans people if they post anything about comicsgate or just in general harshly criticize the current state of the industry. You have people who unironically defend Mark Waid there.

I suppose, but that doesn't make it invulnerable to snakes that use it as a way to make money or try and destroy it from the inside. Luckily GG mostly survived those events, but comicsgate seems to have devolved into drama from what I've seen.

He's a filthy newfag who doesn't know how to use the damn catalog and constantly makes low quality duplicates thread, most of them out of spite. He's so new he didnt know the 8booru existed until a few days ago.

Yanni either hates people actually trashing on comics too heavily or he doesn't like how much arguing goes on in the threads. We have faggots like >>15707784 who spam any thread they don't like and start shit however they can to get a thread deleted for derailment or anything he can think of.

I think you might be mixing up people here. There are a couple people here who dislike how our /co/ has been ran. That one deviantart autist is just one of them.

Yanni taking vacations to leave the board unsupervised for weekends, etc. Also yannie does ban people for weeks at a time for very minor shitposting or even talking about comicsgate. I got banned their recently for saying Mark Waid was a faggot and called someone defending him a retard.

comicsgate as a movement is a lot smaller than GG considering comics are an extremely niche hobby that not even normalfags partake it. They only care about the movies. So only drama relating to the movies will reach them. There have however been some people that try to use comicsgate as a brand or pander to them with a completely other political extreme. That's the stuff that makes it hard for it to be taken seriously.

There's two aspects of it. There's the people online, and off, that just want good books. That are the epitome of your idea.

And then there's the drama.

Holy fuck, it is a never ending stream. Namely because it takes equal parts artist ego, western comic book buyer autism, eceleb shilling for youtube or twitter, and camwhoring for donations because of how demonization will kick in for most wrong thinkers with the final kick of selling their own crowd funding projects, that have a lower cap on all aspects compared to crowdfunded games to get made, be successful. The latest drama completely revolving around an eceleb comicsgate comic book and other ecelebs claiming the movement online. https://archive.fo/3cM5G It has all the worst aspects of GG, but without the audience, a strong industry, and strong online communities.

But despite all that. Fuck Waid, fuck the entire nepotistic industry, here's hoping something gets brought up against Marvel during discovery in Meyer's lawsuit. And that Meyer gets a new house, new assets for a company, in addition to his kids college tuition.

> Luckily GG mostly survived those events, but comicsgate seems to have devolved into drama from what I've seen.

That’s because all the GG dramafaggotry didn't ramp up until around its second or third year. Most prime dramafags jumped ship when they started getting shit on. they embedded themselves into comicsgate when it took off. Besides many comicsgaters are quasi-normalfags like twitter gaygaters. Those kinds of people are always more susceptible to dramafaggotry than even typical imageboard users.

So it's small enough and young enough that the dramawhores have an easier time embedding themselves into it? That explains what I've seen pretty well. I suppose the GG dramawhores going spergy after their relevance starts to wane could have been far worse then.

Everyone who came into the thread to shit on mombot was a (1)-and-done. Keep in mind she's one of the targets of the the people who've raided us recently. Personally, I'd prefer if she weighed in on this more because it's a big deal and she has a large audience and the more people know about this shit the better, but it's not the end of the world if she doesn't.

The problem is that today's major comic book writers have this completely unearned rockstar mentality like they're gods of pop culture and define everything forever for iconic characters. Even though every character gets retconned and changed every single new run or new creative team comes in. Not even mentioning the reboots. It seems to have all gotten really bad ever since the MCU got it's big stride. Then suddenly these comic book characters were "important" again. So the writers still left kept thinking they were making master works of literature. Even though only the niche comic book crowd reads this crap in the first place. So they get the idea into their heads they gotta market more to the casual moviegoer mentality. What better way to hire that kind of young every day person than using something like twitter or tumblr. Because that seems to be where all the current talent pool is from. Then from there you get soapbox propaganda, terrible art, terrible stories, boring stories, massive retcons, controversy being the only marketing, and replacing classic characters with diversity hires without even half of the experience. It's a mess. And they'll defend it even while their sales are plummeting into the abyss.

If you were to write a legacy comic book character for either Marvel or DC, which would you change and how would you do it?

I would have done my own take of Batman Noire and set it in the prohibition era, get rid of most of his high tech gadgets and have him do actual crime solving and detective work. Make the Joker actually funny.

>I would have done my own take of Batman Noire and set it in the prohibition era, get rid of most of his high tech gadgets and have him do actual crime solving and detective work. Make the Joker actually funny.

I'd do a Batman story as well but make it a big story about finding family. Batman has a lot of allies that are disciples of his sort of vigilantism. I'd at least wanna do something with his 3 "sons", Alfred, and Damian. Something that can make you feel warm inside and isn't just another miserable arc that'll mean nothing or go nowhere. Also would lighten the tone. Batman shouldn't be angst incarnate. He should be the dark visage of justice but he's not a cold emotionless monster like modern takes try to make him out to be. I'd also make villains like Joker more of an annoyance rather than his "greatest enemy ever" and Riddler a light hearted challenge of wits that Batman enjoys confronting because it doesn't involve as much brutal physical exhaustion. I'd maybe also have several villains be part of various sects that control certain parts of Gotham. I'd pick at least Penguin, Black Mask, and Maxi Zeus to start out. Most importantly I'd have the story actually have an ending that doesn't just needlessly go on forever. You can only do the formula of locking up the crazies and they break out because reasons for so long.

May sound boring, but I was thinking of the idea of a comic where the "main" guys hang up their capes and to just do something else or to actually live life. They already have dozens of "heirs", and hundreds of back-up characters. Why are they still fighting petty criminals when they've do so much to "inspire" people to the point where them pursuing their job is just a way to waste time. Also, I actually would like to see them actually live out the life they expose out in public because their masked existence has been drilled to death.

I'd probably make a comic that isn't obsessed with having all of the company's characters all coexist in the same word. Superhero teams like the Avengers or Justice league can be nice from time to time, but having every single superhero comic tie into the others in some autistic way doesn't appeal that much to me.

One thing that Marvel and DC have a problem with doing that coexistence thing is the fact that almost every pantheon exists in the same universe. Even though that'd create massive contradictions and wouldn't even fit with the origins of at least Marvel's main universe. Which was created by the Celestials. Not any of the Gods.

I think you just found the issue with superheroes. Many legacy ones are made for an era and they get messed a bit when they try to modernize an iteration again and again each passing decade. A Batman Noire set in the 30s where he does good old school detective work and fights his rogues gallery as they are part of the Mafia is more interesting than what Batman has become. Batman relies too much on gadgets, so you barely see his "detective work" anymore and the Joker went from dark comedian to edgelord that lost its humor. The 1930s setting and themes is where Batman was at his element. The problem with comics is that they reboot over and over instead of ending and feel the need to modernize it to make it look relevant in the current era.

She hasn't said shit about anything for 2 weeks. People are (1)s most likely because its still the beginning of the thread, hell you're a (1) yourself dumbass. The raiders mainly care about Sargon and Veeh more than anyone and anything else. I briefly checked during this whole drama was going on and almost none of them cared about Mombot and were more disgusted by IMC and why he wasn't getting raked over coals harder for this. In fact some peopel thought she was a fucking scapegoat over there for IMC and shitrat.

The reason I'm pissed at Mombot is how she's been fucking useless, presumably since she assumes her best strategy is to stay silent the rest of her fucking life instead of just going on business as usual because there's some fucking things that need her attention.

>>15707904

According to the greasy banana nazi, there was no swatting involved. The guy who was claiming to be swatted is an infamous shitposter (and also a serial doxer himself) and its impossible to tell his shitposts from reality because of this. Not only this, but he (IMC) was very inconsistent, saying how it "went against his morals" to "reveal his sources" and then half-an-hour later reveals a 2 second screencap of a twitter DM with mombot that didn't show anything, and then putting all the blame on her.

>If she didn't give me his dox months ago I never would've given it to the person I wanted to use to harm him with it

As if he had no agency or power himself. 90-99% of the responsibility for any possible harm fell to Ian and Shitrat for anything involving that situation.

Thats Morrison's spin on it, Every joker is a new iteration of his time his super sanity allows him to recognize he'll never change and everything happens as plot demands, but their are till constants and the constant for joker is jokes.

It feels as Paul Dini and Bruce Timm are the only guys in the industry that understands these characters. They should have been the ones directing and writing the DCEU instead of hacks like Snyder, buy i guess they can only exceed in animation. Nobody could beat Mark Hamil's Joker.

She allegedly fed dox to someone, who's "proof" was entirely unverifiable and extremely spurious, and the person in question was the one who actually committed any harmful action with said "dox" (assuming it ever existed and came from her in the first place)

the circumstances surrounding the whole situation are disgustingly sketchy.

Then why haven't I heard of her speaking out about how all this bullshit was made up? She's gone practically silent since the event according to anons here and I can only assume it's out of shame for fucking up a second time since the fake DM fiasco.

they're probably gonna do more simultaneous PC launches and bring up this bullshit with the japanese branch and compile heart.

If Mary Skelter 2 gets a switch port announced in japan over the next few months we will know there was some heavy discussions between the branch. IF really listens to IFI's input, the two companies are the exact opposite of NIS and NISA which is hilarious considering there are a lot of former NIS and NISA employees working at IF and IFI now

She would be expected to either come unto the stream, or her proof would literally just be her word against Ians which would amount to nothing and would give more attention to the drama and possibly set her against him as well. The most one can assume is that her silence means she's guilty, but she's never been one to show her face, identity or voice (except again, to fuck with a few people who are desperate for it). This is all some drama bullshit and I could almost understand the silence approach regardless, since most people have forgotten about it and the only reason any people are still thinking about it at all is because she's still largely silent for some inexplicable reason. The /cow/ fags never cared about it, most people never cared about it, the guy who allegedly got doxxed and swatted just shitposted about it and never cared about it, IMC only cared for the day he came on stream. She's basically acting like a dumbass, which is my problem with her right nowo.

You know how all those counties weren't called even though they were 99%? Voter Fraud basically they were waiting to see how many votes they should pull out of their ass to get into a recount for the real rigging or get just a wide enough margin that a recount couldn't be demanded. However one set of counting has already froze and Florida is par for the course so the seizures are to be expected.

Next time please state which location, outlet or event you are referring to, I found an article in Estonian by copy-pasting their names but if they were in the slightest different or if they were to have use a name used by someone more popular than them, then I wouldn't have been able to find it.

Apartheid officially ended almost 30 years ago. And that is only officially, there was a shitload that happened way before that. Let's not forget that necklacing has been a beloved tradition over there for decades before that.

That's actually how they story ends for countless people throughout history, from Socrates to Lincoln, where they were all killed because they refused to compromise on their beliefs (Which ended up embarrassing just about every "intellectual" and know-it-all), but their legacy proved to be beyond anything they could have accomplished in their life.

Do you believe in heaven or reincarnation? Sad truth about life is that we were all born to suffer. However, you can choose to learn from that suffering and grow stronger, or just sufferalk the same and remain weak.

Did you really buy into the leftist meme about how Lincoln is literally the best president ever? How about the fact that, despite being free men, they did not deserve to have the same rights in his eyes? Or how only blacks that served the cause in the Civil War deserved to get the right to vote? Or how he still allowed some Union states to keep their slaves as a reward for helping them against the Confederacy? He didn't give a shit about slavery, he simply thought that it didn't matter since blacks would never be able to accomplish anything and thus freeing them wouldn't change anything. He used slavery as a talking point in order to have free cannon fodder in the fight against the South.

I thank her for helping finish Freya's design and occasionally helping me out with kanji I couldn't understand. She's funny. Don't know why anyone would consider her an authority on anything. She's just a cool person to talk to.

>How about the fact that, despite being free men, they did not deserve to have the same rights in his eyes?

When debating Stephen Douglas, long before the presidency, he kept stating that they deserved the same rights as anyone white (However, he also expressly was against race-mixing, which was the Left's way of sinking an opponent back then).

>Or how only blacks that served the cause in the Civil War deserved to get the right to vote? Or how he still allowed some Union states to keep their slaves as a reward for helping them against the Confederacy?

No, that was a law that had to be taken through Congress. The Emancipation Proclamation made the slaves free in the South because it was "enemy territory" during th war (Therefore losing their rights as U.S. citizens), but the North states still had to follow the laws of the constitution, which means that they had to push a law through Congress, and the president cannot make law.

Late. Probably missed it due to all the shit surrounding the upcoming midterms. And in the past few days, been all about the RDR2 video about literal npc feminists.

Either way , bears repeating.

>Google Tells Court Allowing Free Speech Would Be 'Disastrous'

>“If they are bound by the same First Amendment rules that apply to the government, YouTube and other service providers would lose much of their ability to protect their users against offensive or objectionable content – including pornography, hate speech, personal attacks, and terrorist propaganda.”

We get all that here 24/7/365, and things are a lot more civil than other places. The only ones who cannot handle complete freedom of speech are either those who were just introduced to it, or those with a guilty conscious.

>In a separate post Henteko Doujin explained that usually their interactions with Valve was done with the same person who was sending out all the ban warnings that initiated the waifu holocaust back in May of 2018…

We know its a female employee doing this, and there can't be that many of those at Valve

There's 3 females shown in Valve's customer support staff page (though it might not haved the newer people they hired or something), I'm guessing they're the most likely candidates for this, but its sort of weird.

Promises BEFORE presidency have never amounted to anything in any election. For example, Obabo, prior to being elected, was not only against illegal immigration but also insisted that people that hire illegal immigrants should be punished because "they disrespect the rule of law and show disregard for those that follow the law". He also was against the war in Iraq and many times stated that the NSA should be dismantled. Promises at the exact point where it is most convenient to lie mean nothing.

>One of them actually did come to fruition in addition to Liberia. Lincoln signed a contract with a proprietor of an island off the coast of Haiti called the Ile à Vache. The Ile à Vache was a small, uninhabited island just off the southern coast of Haiti, part of Haiti’s possessions and territory. This contractor, a former merchant, had been in Haiti and secured a paper from the Haitian government giving him ownership of this island. On December 31, 1862, the evening before he issues the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln met with this contractor and they drafted terms to get federal subsidized transit and supplies to move up to 5,000 colonists to this island.

>There are a multitude of problems that hit this expedition. The first: an epidemic of smallpox breaks out aboard the ship while it’s en route to Haiti. The infected settlers were placed in a quarantine zone, but they didn’t have enough supplies to handle this from a medical perspective because they were awaiting a second supply ship that was supposed to bring food, lumber, medicine, and further workers. During the course of the intervening months, a dispute breaks out between the proprietor of the island and his financiers back in New York City, and between the financiers and the Secretary of the Interior in Washington. As a result, the second ship never comes, and in fact they cancel all the remaining ventures to send further colonists as well.

>So the 500 are left on this island and the contractor Lincoln made the agreement with has certain despotic tendencies that emerge over the course of the journey. He decides, as any good autocrat does, to confiscate all metallic money the former slaves had brought with them and exchange it for paper currency he had issued on his own and then declares that he’s only going to accept his own paper currency as payment for food and supplies on the island. He refused to build sufficient dwellings, food stocks, or anything that would be necessary to sustain the colony.

>After several months of this, with the smallpox epidemic still raging, the proprietor is driven off of the island almost by force of arms. This results in the New York investors coming in, who try to rescue the situation by replacing him with one of their own agents, but then the first wave of crops they had planted failed. So it’s a succession of disasters, and by late 1863, the colony is effectively abandoned. Several of the colonists flee to the mainland of Haiti, others try to start settlements on the beach, and as a result of this giant convergence of problems, in early 1864, Lincoln had to send a ship back to Haiti to rescue the survivors and bring them back to the United States.

This wasn't a promise, this was him arguing with his senator as a private citizen. In fact, those debates are the only thing people remembered him for, years later, because of how hard of a time he gave Douglas.

If anything, it only helps paint a troubling picture about how procurement on Steam seems to work - if seemingly any random person doesn't really agree with the laissez faire-approach Steam has insisted on, they can just strike out on some autistic one-man crusade that nobody else at the company seems to be even slightly aware of, considering all the other games of similar vein that've already been published on the platform.

I can't say I'm surprised that odds are pointing towards this debacle only happening because of a single, unchecked sperg, just that it's troubling that Valve doesn't even seem to do a cursory check what their employees are doing with their toys.
